Hi There
My bubba is 9 weeks old now and waking once or twice a night. On average he'll wake for the first time at around 3am and we're up anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before I can get him back down (I try not to stimulate him but he has usually done a big pooh so I have to change his nappy and rewrap him), so I'm wide awake by the time I go back to bed. Then I just can't get back to sleep at all before he wakes up again at around 6am!! I also get quite anxious as he wriggles a lot during this second lot of night sleep and I've found him with his swaddle over his face 3 times so I'm constantly looking at the monitor to make sure he's ok. I've spent a fortune on swaddles as he's 6.5kg already and really strong so fights his way out of the muslin but can get his arms round the front of the Mum2Mum Dream Swaddle AND the Miracle Blanket too so often raises them over his face. So between me fully waking to feed and settle him and then worrying about him covering his face I'm awake while my baby sleeps. Has anyone got any tips on how I can get back to sleep, I'm soooo tired and can't keep being awake from 3am every day!!!!
Thanks a lot smile
